Traveler Bio

Hello! My name is Jalynn Chang, but you can call me Max. I am 21 years old and I'm from Carmel, Indiana. Growing up In Indiana, I lived on a small urban farm growing Asian pears and vegetables. I currently go to Purdue University studying Computer Science. This summer, I will be working as a Software Engineering intern at Google in NYC! I applied for and was fortunate to receive a U.S. Gilman scholarship to study abroad in Singapore with the National University of Singapore (NUS). Currently, I am living in Singapore, where I'm eating lots of new foods and traveling around Southeast Asia! I am excited to share my adventures with you all and cannot wait to hear about your journeys through the school year!
